There is nothing trustworthy about this woman, but I still want her.

I'm Nikandr Morozov, Sovietnik of the Morozov Bratva. Caroline comes from a family of traitors. She has nothing to recommend her but the fierce friendship of the Morozov women. She's brash, defiant, and infuriatingly beautiful. However, when we're taken by a greedy arms dealer in Moscow, I instantly claim that she's mine. How can I want her? But I'm keeping her. Whether she agrees, or not.

In fact, I prefer that she doesn't. I'll enjoy the fight.

Caroline: It's hard enough to start over in New York City with the specter of my brothers' betrayal hanging over my head. I'm fleeing Boston and a madman in his crumbling Gothic mansion, who thinks I'm going to marry him. Enter Nikandr Morozov, who seems determined to prove I'm unworthy of association with the Morozov Bratva. He's arrogant, condescending, and he thinks he's going to take over my life because he's "protecting" me?

Oh, that is not going to happen.

Tropes: forced marriage; power imbalance; forced proximity; cold, calculating MMC; obsessive love; found family; dark gothic romance; enemies-to-lovers.

Lord of Passion is the fourth book in the Bratva Lords Series, but it can easily be enjoyed as a standalone. There is no other woman drama and as always, an HEA.
